A new study by the International Campaign to Ban Landmines shows Burma is one of three governments that continue to deploy landmines.
In its annual report issued today, the group says Burma, Nepal and Russia have not signed the 1997 Ottawa Convention banning mine use.
The report says 231 people were killed by landmines in Burma last year, and there is evidence the government is continuing to manufacture more mines.
The group says Burma defends its use of landmines, saying it believes all states have the right to self-defense and a total ban on mines would not be effective.
